Factorio Forums

Having been playing 0.14.23, I opted into the 0.15.18 beta on Steam. On startup everything is as expected until the main menu appears with an overlay titled 'Automatic Steam update notice'. [screenshot attached]. Although there is an 'OK' button for the notice overlay, it doesn't respond to any mouseclick; the only way to close Factorio at this point is to close its window. I have reverted to 0.14.23, and Factorio starts perfectly. Log file with platform and system info also attached.

Supplementary: I removed the mods I had been using in case they were the source of the issue: This makes no difference: the overlay is still fixed in place, covering the main menu.

Workaround: Opting in to 0.15.x instead of 0.15.18 will not show this notice.

You should only pick specific versions (0.15.18) if you want to keep Factorio at this version because it disables updates, that's what the notice warns you about although it's badly written since all the 0.15 versions are labeled 'experimental'. Selecting 0.15.x will automatically update once a new version is out.

Workaround: Opting in to 0.15.x instead of 0.15.18...

Ah, ok, I'll give that a try. Is that a Steam bug, then, or a Factorio one?

It's a Factorio bug.

Thank you for the report, fixed for the next version.
